Might not have the same luxury now.
Bell Pieterson Trott Prior Root are not left handed.

Other than Strauss and Cook we have only seen rabbits like Broad and Anderson bat left handed.

Where they have beaten us is at times our batting has just folded under pressure. We have just lost games where we have been skittled and lost clumps of wickets for no reason of note. A little bit of circumspect batting and grinding it out and we probably win at Durham and Trent Bridge last time around.

We basically snatched defeat from the jaws of victory a few times in the last 3 series in the UK
